This Easter, give a gift that's sweeter than chocolate

This Easter, give a gift that’s sweeter than chocolate…

Everyone loves giving and receiving chocolate at Easter – young people especially. At Rainbows, because of dietary and medical considerations, only one in ten of the children we care for can actually enjoy eating them.

That’s why this Easter, instead of giving a chocolate egg to show our youngsters how much you care, we’re encouraging all of our amazing supporters to purchase one of our unique Gifts That Give instead.

Gifts that Give are a collection of alternative gifts - like music therapy, hydrotherapy or a special trip out - for our children, young people and their families. You choose the gift that you want to give and we make the memories, it is that simple. To find out more, visit any one of our Rainbows shops or log on to rainbows.co.uk/giftsthatgive

Alternatively, our Amazon Wish List is full of items our children and young people really need and use every day, such as sensory books and arts and crafts materials, and there’s a price range to suit everyone. For more information visit rainbows.co.uk/wishlist

Chocolate lasts a moment, help us make memories which will last a lifetime.

If you’ve already bought an Easter egg for Rainbows, thank you. Some will be used as gifts for children, young people and families, some will be used by the play team and care team and, if there are any left over, they will be used by the fundraising team for raffles, tombola’s and to say thank you to people fundraising on our behalf.

Every gesture matters. Every penny counts.

We only get around 15% of our funding from government bodies, so we rely on donations to fund the care we give - your help pays for facilities like our special adapted bathrooms.
